Consult this session to discover a selection of challenging clinical cases, such as myocardial revascularisation in diffuse CAD, PCI of bifurcation lesion with DK crush technique, angioplasty of totally thrombosed arteriovenous graft, and more!

Consult this session to discover a selection of challenging and complex clinical cases, such as rotational atherectomy with distal left radial approach, endovascular management of Rasmussen's aneurysm, recurrent haemoptysis caused by a large pulmonary artery aneurysm, and more!

The objective of this substudy was to examine the safety of switching patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) who were previously on warfarin or a direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) to dabigatran dual therapy.
